Challenge:
The client faced operational bottlenecks and outdated crane infrastructure that limited performance. The goal was to not only replace cranes but also unlock broader terminal efficiencies through technology, process improvements, and automation enablers.
What we did:

▪️Benchmarked technical crane specs and lifecycle cost models from leading OEMs (Liebherr, KoneCranes)
▪️Recommended operational enablers including TOS upgrades, Lean for Terminals, and twin-lift capability
▪️Outlined future-proofing steps like automation of trailer handling and yard layout optimization
Impact / Outcomes:
✅ Strategic shift towards automation-ready STS cranes
✅ Full visibility on lifecycle costs for 20+ years of crane operations
✅ Actionable roadmap combining equipment, process, and IT improvements
✅ Stakeholder buy-in to a phased transformation across terminal operations
